The Coast Guard also released the following statement in regards to suspending the search.

“Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to the loved ones affected by this terrible tragedy. We are all sons and daughters, and many of our responders have young children themselves. Suspending search efforts is always a painful decision, particularly when it involves a young mother,” said Capt. Todd Coggeshall, Incident Management Chief at the Coast Guard’s Seventh District.
